I had just left the airport and was on my way to Serenity's house. As I pulled into the house, I could see Serenity standing outside waiting for me. She immediately starts waving at me and running up to the car.
The car had stopped and I had gotten out. As I was getting out, Serenity already jumps to bear hug me. "I'm so glad you here!" she says. "that's great and all, but can you please let me go? I can barley breathe" I say. she loosens up a little. "sorry, I'm just so happy you're here". I chuckle at her in response.
We got my bags out the car and walk up to the house. I had completely forgotten that my sister was dating a famous kickboxer and owned a restaurant, so seeing how big the house was threw me off. "I'll carry these to your room. just get comfortable!" she says as she carries my bags to my room. I had forgotten she told me she started working out more so seeing her carry my bags with ease also threw me off. I mean her boyfriend is the #1 kickboxer in the nation, I'm shocked he didn't work her out earlier.
I started walking around the house, just exploring until I had stepped on something. I picked my foot up to see it was a condom wrapper.
At least this confirms the stories she used to tell me.
I grabbed a napkin and picked up the wrapper and threw it in the trash. I then hear Serenity coming down the stairs and towards the kitchen.
"Hey, I see you already took a look at the kitchen" she says as she walks in. "yea, I also found something on the floor that you forgot to throw away this morning" I say. She looks at me confused, until it clicks in her head. "Oh, sorry about that. But I mean can you blame me? His d..." "spare me the details"
She chuckles at my comment. "Alright, but" she takes a seat at the island in the middle of the kitchen. "How you been?". Now I could completely act like it's a normal question and has nothing to do with my divorce. Or the complete opposite.
"I've been fine" I say. "Be honest with me Nova." She says. I deeply sigh before speaking. "I've been decent enough to survive" I say honestly. She pats the seat next to her, indicating that I should sit down. I walk over and sit down next to her.
"Serenity, I just miss him so much. I just felt like a horrible wife, sister, daughter, all of the above. But I know it's for the best" I say. I could feel the back of my throat starting to become sore as I continued to talk. "Noah was always good to me, but I felt like I wasn't good enough to him. I felt like I could've been better, but everything pushed me back from doing that".
I felt my sister beginning to rub my back in comfort. I almost never expressed my emotions this way. I would always handle it myself and keep it moving. But after apologizing to Serenity, I realized she was the best comfort person. Sometimes I wonder why I never noticed from-
Oh yea.
All of a sudden, tears ran down my face. I could feel Serenity pulling in for a hug while playing in my hair. We sat there for almost 10 minutes, just taking it all in.
10 minutes of Noah being on my mind. 10 minutes of regretting my decision. 10 minutes of realizing I needed help.
10 minutes of pain.
After the whole thing in the kitchen. Serenity had to go to Zryan's gym. Apparently, he got into it with one of his teammates because they talked shit about Serenity. So Zryan had punched him in the jaw so hard, he may be out for the next few weeks.
Noah would've done that for me.
I snap out of my head and go back to what I was doing. I've been writing down my thoughts in my journal for a few weeks now. According to google, it was a good way to decompress.
Safe to say I'm going to see a therapist soon.
But in all seriousness, it honestly wasn't that bad. But my hand started to hurt every 3 seconds so that was the not so fun part. I sighed as I put the journal down. I then hear the front door open. I walk out my room to see Zryan and Serenity slightly arguing. "Baby, he was talking about you. What else could I have done?" he says. "Zryan, you almost got suspended! I don't need you getting suspended over me" Serenity says. I had started walking down the stairs, causing them to stop and turn to me.
"Oh, hey Nova. I forgot you flew in earlier." Zryan says. I turned from Zryan to Serenity, who had a heated look on her face. "Zryan, go take a shower. We'll talk about this later" she demands. "Yes ma'am". He then passes by me on the stairs and to his room.
Serenity sighs deeply. "I swear, sometimes I want to strangle him" she says. "you guys love each other so much" I joke. We both let out a small laugh. "Hey, my friend invited me to the club. How about you come with me?" she says.
Serenity knows I despised clubs but at this point I had nothing to lose.
"Sure, what time?"
I regret my decision.
We were at the club, and it was packed. I was currently sitting at the VIP table Serenity had bought for me and her friends. Speaking of, right now I'm watching one of her friends grind on a random guy they just met. Serenity was off with her other friends doing God knows what.
I was around 5 shots into tequila. Instead of having fun, all I could think about was Noah. I didn't even realize I had drunk 5 shots until I had counted all the cups, or was it 6?
Who cares.
I had gotten up and had gone to the dance floor. I don't know what made me get up, but it just felt right. As I was walking around, I bumped into someone. They actually smell good. A little too good.
"I'm so sorry" I slurred. He turns around and looks down at me. His face was slightly blurry but I could tell he was handsome. He just stared at me, not saying a word. rude.
I began walking away until he grabs my arm and pulls me back. "Your leaving"
